To speed up software upgrades on my dated #gentoo :gentoo: laptop, I finally installed #distcc (distributed C/C++ compilation) on a more powerful machine in the network (was easy with Docker).
I'm impressed how much big this difference this makes. Much quicker than expected, I can actually use the laptop during updating, _and_ I don't get random compilation errors due to hardware overheating.
As I'll be rebuilding the world set a bunch of times I might just set up #distcc on my beefy laptop.
GCC, the kernel and chromium are going to take ages to build.
maybe #distcc and a compiler on a faster box can help a lot.
that wouldn't be full cross-compiling stress because ./configure, make and friends would run locally and only compiling would be distributed.
laaater!
